What makes you try harder each day? The Mrs. International® system stands for commitment to family, personal excellence and service to our communities. Those core principles guide my life on a daily basis.

Describe the perfect day for you...As an undergraduate, I worked full-time as a manager in the hardware, lawn and garden and paint departments at Sears. I became really good with power tools and can actually build things, including furniture!

How do you make a difference each day?I stay healthy by going on "adventures" with my four-year-old daughter. That usually includes hiking, riding bikes or me jogging after her on her scooter. She also recently learned how to do step aerobics with me, which has made exercise amazingly fun for both of us!

Describe your most treasured item in your home?As a stroke survivor, Iíve learned the importance of making the most of every moment with my family. We spend time together and never take each other for granted. "Family values" also means teaching my daughter to be considerate of others and make a positive contribution to the world.
